Hamann Says Arsenal Won’t Win Titles Unless They Sign a Top Striker
Former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann has questioned Arsenal’s title chances, insisting they won’t win major trophies without a top striker.
Hamann believes the Gunners’ hopes of lifting the Premier League or Champions League will fade unless they bring in a proven goal scorer. He pointed to Ollie Watkins as a player Arsenal should have targeted during the winter transfer window.
“I’ve said it before, I don’t see them winning the league or Champions League without a proper centre-forward like Ollie Watkins,” Hamann told Prime Casino.
He also noted that Aston Villa was unlikely to let Watkins leave, especially while still competing in the Champions League. “Duran went to Saudi, so it was always a long shot for Villa to sell Watkins at this stage,” he added.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
